I'm sitting here, watching the wind whip through the tree outside my window. It's kind of mesmerizing....The tree is tall and narrow, with lots of upright branches, just starting to bud out. I'm looking at it from the 5th floor, so it's not a tiny tree, but the wind is making it sway with abandon.

It's been a long day...and it's only 3:12. Had meetings all morning, starting at 7:30 (although, I heartily recommend breakfast meetings at the Four Seasons....fresh fruit, yum!), and finally getting a chance to get through my mail (snail and otherwise).
